offering content to establish an initial connection with prospects.Problems
•Sometimes acronyms of your product/service will get more volume than their names. For
example, EMS can be short for energy management system.Acronyms
•Targeting “hotel energy management system” and “school energy management system” is
going to allow me to write ads directly related to those applications and get me better
results.
Applications/Markets
•If they put it in their query, you should put it in your ad.Part/Model #’s
•When searchers append words like solutions, vendor, company, provider, etc. to your core
keyword terms, they’re on the hunt and looking for what you’re offering.Solutions
•You’ll want to separate competitors names that are attached to your core keyword terms
because they can be harder to make profitable.Competitors
